While adventuring around Munich and Bavaria for a few days I made my home base the Platzl Hotel in Munich. This was a perfect spot to stay. Centrally located in the heart of Old Town Munich I was steps away from Marienplatz, the Residenz, Virkualienmarkt, and right near the S Baun stations that can get you to the train station and other areas of Munich.
When you enter the hotel the lobby is decorated with warm wood paneling mixed with modern light fixtures and the staff is dressed in traditional Bavarian garb. Adjacent to the lobby is the Jaffe Cafe and Bar.
I booked a Classic Single Room and was honestly expecting a twin bed and cramped quarters. I was pleasantly surprised when I entered what seemed to be a newly renovated room. I had a wonderful and comfortable full-size bed with fluffy pillows, a desk area to get some work done, a spacious bathroom, air conditioning, and best of all a fantastic view!
While the room was small it was perfect for a solo traveler. I didn't feel like I was climbing over my luggage while navigating the room. I had plenty of room to get ready in the morning in the bathroom and enough outlets to charge all my electronics. The one downside of this room was its proximity to the Hofbrau House Beer Hall. It was pretty loud until about midnight and sometimes later. Even with the noise I just closed the window and slept pretty soundly. Also, the room had an A+ mirror which I shamelessly used for mirror selfies pictured below.
When I first checked out the bathroom I noticed that the hotel had its own brand of soaps, shampoo, and lotion allegedly all made from beer. Of course, I tried these all out and I have to say, it didn't really remind me of beer at all maybe a slight after smell, but not super strong.
With my booking, I decided to add breakfast to my reservation. While it was a little pricey it was worth knowing that I had a solid meal to start the day. The breakfast buffet spread was very generous. There was a wide assortment of rolls, bread, pastries, cold cuts, cheeses, juices, and spreads for the baked goods. They even had a full honeycomb for fresh honey which was incredible. They even had a nice selection of loose tea that you could choose from each morning.
While I was staying the Platzl was still being renovated. While I didn't notice any noise, I did see some unfinished tiles in the stairwell and some guys were working on lighting by the elevator. I'm an early riser so it didn't bother me but if you slept late I'm sure you would have heard them working.
I would absolutely stay at the Platzl Hotel again
